Dear Dolly: On Love, Life and Friendship, the instant Sunday Times bestseller

Product Information

While I was reading this book I felt like I was almost having a conversation with an older sister that I never had.

Without judgement, and with deep empathy informed by her own, much-chronicled adventures in love, friendship and dating, Dolly leads us by the hand through the various labyrinths of life, proving that a problem shared is truly a problem halved. Dolly’s first book ( everything I know about love)blew me away, her second fictional book ( Ghosts) was something I had to grind my way through it and this one is not great! Their questions range from the painfully – and sometimes hilariously – relatable to the occasionally bizarre. They include breakups and body issues, families, friendships, dating, divorce, the pleasures and pitfalls of social media, sex, loneliness, longing, love and everything in between.

You're experiencing something that will soften and harden you, give you strength and allow you to be weak. having loved dolly’s previous works, particularly ‘everything i know about love’ (which is an all time favourite of mine), i was excited to devour more of her words of wisdom.

Alderton is so gifted at making people care' Marian Keyes --This text refers to the paperback edition. While none of the questions selected for this book was really compatible with my life right now, I still found reading her replies empathetic and friendly.Publication dates are subject to change (although this is an extremely uncommon occurrence overall). Although I didn't love Everything I Know About Love at the time I read it (and have already reached the conclusion that it was a matter of right book-wrong time), I really like Dolly's writing. It was as if I had crept down to the docks under cover of darkness and floated a message out in a bottle, imagining how it might be received. What surprised me most about this book on the positive side was the way it is written in which, as is the collection of Dolly's advice in the Dear Dolly column in The Sunday Times Style, we can read the person's perspective and doubts about a certain subject and then the answer provided by Dolly.
